Well what I can understand you need is a modem software application that uses AT commands to query your phone and sim card to retrieve messages.
This application could do this by either 1) Using an event to determine when a new sms message is available following when the message is sent via email to you. 2) Connecting to, and polling your modem (sim or/and phone) for all new unread messages and then within a loop, retrieving and sending those messages to you by email. I would leave setting up your modem to you. You need to ensure that your modem is assigned a serial port e.g. COM1, COM2, e.t.c., and that the application that I reference below is able to connect to it and query it. You can get relevant C# code (that you will need to modify only a little), and information from the links below: 1) For TEXT mode querying of your modem e.g. for character sets that are within the 8 bit range. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/Send_and_Read_SMS.aspx?msg=3565692 2) For PDU Mode querying of your modem (Preferred) http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/SMS.aspx Thereafter you can add code to send you email. I hope this has been helpful to you.
